Elite Legends Academy of Dance is proud to offer a wide array of dance and tumbling genres. We take immense pride in our syllabus and lesson plans. Our operating system allows our teachers to track each student's progress and share that directly with the student's guardians. Throughout the course of our 9-month session, your student will hit 3 checkpoints to track their progress. This gives the students and guardians a clear idea of the progression within the program.
